Durable, comfortable and plenty of storage space!
This pack is incredibly comfortable, impressively durable, and offers plenty of storage space! I love that the front pocket easily fits my phone with room to spare for snacks and other essentials I want quick access to. The back pocket is perfectly sized to carry multiple layers without feeling bulky or heavy. Overall, it’s a fantastic pack — highly recommend!

very comfortable
I replaced my active skin 8 with the 12 as the zip was sticking, (it has had a lot of use) I was a bit worried the extra volume would be too big but actually its fine and doesn't feel any bigger than the 8, it's reassuring to know I can fit extra layers in in the winter, or if I do a full days running adventure. As with the 8 the fit is great, no bouncing or moving around - I went for the womens fit, you forget you're wearing it as it's so comfortable. So far I've only run in hot conditions (unusual for Wales) and I do get quite a sweaty back but guess this is unavoidable. Very happy with it.

It'll take some getting used to
I've had the same ultimate direction pack for 10+ years, but the tightening tabs in the bottom back were digging into my back during my long runs. It had a simple design though, two tabs in the front, much easier than these draw string clips. The flasks that came with this aren't great at all, the rubber tips pop off at the slightest pull and a lot of fluid gushes out.... Not fun. I like the amount of pockets, haven't tried it with a bladder yet, not sure how I'll like the tube because it looks like it comes right out from the top and will rub against my neck, and my long ponytail will probably get tangled up around it. Overall, I do like it.

LOVE this comfy vest! RAN MY 50 miler!
Very spacious backpack. The colors are very cool. The orange stands out from the back view.

Super practical
This is my first Salomon pack. I used it for my 50 mile race a week ago. It was light and fit well without bouncing, more like it wrapped me in it. No chafing at all. It had so much storage space. Especially the back compartment was expandable and I could store my rain jacket and other items comfortably. I am glad that I chose this Active Skin 12 for my long runs/races.

They really thought of the runner!
I am very happy with my active skin. I am a naturally large chested female ultra runner with a small torso. This vest and the placement of the flexible front water flasks is as if i had nothing on at all. I love all the pockets and space available for the necessary nutrition. I haven't used in extreme heat, but with body heat I haven't noticed any issues with sweat seeping through the bag or even the water overheating. I like to run errands on long run days and found the back can actually hold more than I thought. I really love how it does not feel like I am wearing anything. If I had any complaints it would be the video on how to open the back reservoir was not too helpful. I actually would have done it wrong had I not watched other people's you tube. IYKYK! I cannot stress enough how much the woman's active vest is perfect for a woman's chest. Last note, I did follow the size charting which worked for me.

A great investment for my long runs!
This is my first vest. For the last 30 years I’ve run on and off. A bunch of marathons etc. i ALWAYS wore a waist belt and thought that was the best for me. As I’ve aged I’ve gained weight around my belly. I have noticed that when I wear my belt and am going on a hard run my belt pushes on my belly and I’ve felt it pressing on my diaphragm and causing me to feel like I needed to take it off. THIS vest has been a complete game changer for me. No more planning how to get water on my long runs AND no pressure on my belly. The flasks are easy to drink from as well as the bladder hose. There are two zipped compartments and one holds my phone (with the thick case and a pop socket on it.) The bladder was a separate purchase but it fits so well! I am very happy with this purchase.
